I'd guess some of you got a smartphone of some sort for Christmas. And that some others of you had time over the break to play around with various app stores and tried out some music apps.

Which led me to being curious - especially as I'm thinking again about building a DiS app - what everyone's favourite apps are?

I really like the daytrotter one for browsing their archive of sessions. And the hype machine one is always handy. Soundcloud's is good for browsing my dropbox of demos every now and again. Not really found anything for my Blackberry that I love - although there aren't a great deal of apps to choose from (although Spotify now works on it). Quite impressed by Deezer's mobile app, as subscription music on a smartphone goes, is pretty good and intuitive - much moreso thank BlackBerry's BBM music app, which no-one I know seems to be using.

Hey, thanks for linking to my article, but it originally appeared on Evolver.fm (Wired has an agreement to repost certain of our articles). If you feel like supporting the little guy, could you add that the article originally appeared here?

It's definitely one of the better-designed apps out there, and really great for radio. With the Spotify app I find that usually updating it helps to sort out its bugginess-- it used to crash on me all the time but now it works pretty much fine.

quite liked it, although quickly realised it was turning me on to bands i already knew (blood red shoes were the second or third thing I clicked on, if memory serves... and I think it pulled up jeniferever... which for me the me that isn't me, is probably a good thing...)
